A/N: The first part of this chapter will be from Boomer's POV. The second part will be from Bubbles's POV. Note that Bubbles will start at the same time Boomer's did, and stop around the same time. There will be a line when transferring POVs. Anything in italics is either Bubbles or Boomer, depending on POV, thinking.

Chapter 1

I walked to my locker, and turned the dial to show my combination. The locker door swung open, and I removed my stuff I would need for homework. I exited the school.

About halfway home, I was stopped by a voice. "You have some explaining to do, Boomer."

You'd have to imagine I was pretty shocked, considering the fact that I'd completely changed my name and identity, because of what my brothers did to the Powerpuff Girls. I was now a dirty blond with brown contacts.

"It's Kyle now."

"Please, you can't hide behind that disguise forever. You're still one of us. Now tell me, why did you help them?"

"I love her, Butch."

"Who?"

"Bubbles."

"Stupid brother, now I have no choice but to kill you."

"What makes you think you can?"

"I was always the strongest of us three. Admit it."

"Yeah, you were," I tried to put emphasis on the were. "But not anymore."

I used my sonic scream, and sped through the following shockwave to punch Butch in the face. He fell to the floor, and I leaped in the air to fly away. He quickly recovered and chased after me. He knocked me to the floor, and pinned me down by the shirt.

"See, you can't beat me, Boomer."

"So sure about that?" I taunted, and kicked him in the stomach. He was sent flying into a building. He ran up and punched me in the face. I kicked him in the nuts, and he moaned in pain. I punched him back, making a hole at his feet with my laser vision. He fell through, and I covered it up and sealed it with laser vision. I could hear him pounding on the door of his makeshift cell, cursing. Knowing there wasn't much time, I flew off. I stopped to rest on a rooftop.

"Boomer? Is that really you?"

"I have to go, Bubbles." I flew away as fast as I could, and into my apartment. She didn't follow. I can't talk to her now. It was the first time we'd met face to face in five years. I changed into another outfit, and put new contacts in.

"Man, Butch, don't you know how much these cost?!"

I went to my locker to pick up my stuff. Waiting there was my boyfriend, Shaun Aaron, captain of the football team. He went down a knee.

"Bubbles Utonium, will you go to the prom with me?"

"Yes!" I said happily. He kissed me and I ran off, skipping, when I happened to see a blue streak up in the sky. Could it really be him? I followed it to a rooftop.

"Boomer? Is that really you?"

"I have to go, Bubbles." He flew away. I didn't follow, for respect of his statement. Still, I couldn't help but wonder, why did he leave? I wanted to talk to him. I wanted to thank him. I wanted to be near him, because I realized I felt safe when I was with him. Suddenly, I didn't feel as good about saying yes to Shaun anymore.

"Finally, out of that fucking hole!" A voice yelled in achievement from somewhere nearby. I went to investigate, and peeked around an alleyway corner. Butch. That must've been what Boomer was running from. I hid behind a garbage can, and peeked out to see Brick come over to Butch.

"Were you able to get Boomer to rejoin us?"

"No."

Good, Boomer's not on their side.

"Never the matter. Come Butch, so we can discuss our plans for finally destroying Bubbles Utonium!" I gasped, but quickly covered my mouth. They didn't here me, and flew off. Few, that was close. I have to find Boomer. I can't do this, not alone. As I headed home, I could't help but think that Butch wasn't the only reason Boomer had left so quickly.
